Size doesn’t matter, it’s how you wear it It’s not about what size you wear, it’s about how you wear it. Learn how to spend the upcoming holiday season in clothes that enhance your body as well as boost your self-confidence. As a Style Coach, I often find that women like to buy clothes they admire on someone else or that they fall in love with, flipping through fashion magazines. This can be tricky, though. A dress that looks so gorgeous

on another woman will often look completely different on us, and we ultimately won’t feel pretty in it at all. One of the reasons for this might be that a friend, a colleague or a celebrity have a completely different coloring and body shape than we do.

IT’S ALL ABOUT BODY SHAPE & COMFORT When you understand your body shape, it empowers you to make excellent wardrobe choices and shopping becomes a breeze. You will have focus and clarity, and your money will be spent much more efficiently. Interestingly, you may buy less, but you will find that your wardrobe starts to fill with outfits that make you look and feel your best. As Hubert de Givenchy once said: “The dress must follow the body of a woman, not the body following the shape of the dress.” What’s most important for all of us is to feel comfortable, self-confident and like you can be your truest self in what you

wear. If that’s not the case, people will sense it. In addition, the clothes should enhance your positive features and bring balance to your figure, no matter what your shape and size are. Whatever your body shape, the aims are mostly the same: - To balance out proportions. - To enhance and draw focus to the positives. - To cleverly disguise any challenging areas. - To bring balance & femininity to the figure.
